Long story short, I managed to finagle a way to get QT Player to spit out the 
atom container for the appropriate settings for me, and using that worked 
great. I personally didn't find an API-based programmatic way, but obviously 
building the atoms programmatically would work. The key thing is using the 
'past' value in the video and sound atoms.

I did however get an off-list message which suggested this:


Probably something like this will work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MovieExportComponent exporter;
OpenADefaultComponent(MovieExportType, kQTFileTypeMP4, &exporter);

UInt32 ftyp = 'mp42';
QTSetComponentProperty(exporter, kQTPropertyClass_MovieExporter,
                       'ftyp', sizeof ftyp, &ftyp);

QTAtomContainer ac;
MovieExportGetSettingsAsAtomContainer(exporter, &ac);
uint32_t past = EndianU32_NtoB('past');
QTAtom enso = QTFindChildByID(ac, kParentAtomIsContainer,
                              kQTSettingsMovieExportEnableSound, 1, 0);
QTSetAtomData(ac, enso, sizeof past, &past);
QTAtom envi = QTFindChildByID(ac, kParentAtomIsContainer,
                              kQTSettingsMovieExportEnableVideo, 1, 0);
QTSetAtomData(ac, envi, sizeof past, &past);
MovieExportSetSettingsFromAtomContainer(exporter, ac);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



.... which to me looks like it'd work just fine. I haven't tried it yet though 
because I've been a bit busy, but I certainly will try it at some point soon.
